... and for the long run, it did just that.

The shuttle did what it what it intended to do. To get us ready for space.... never mind inter-planetary space (too political, apparently). I love Cocoa Beach and the men and women that labored towards our space exploration program and of course, our shuttle program. So, good on them.

They did good, they did very good.
